TAKE-UP MECHANISM FOR NARROW-WARE LOOMS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 651,614, dated June12, 1900.

Application filed October 9, 1899. Serial No. 733 017. (No model.)

county of Queens, and State of New York,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Take-Up Mechanismfor Narrow-.VVare Looms; and we do hereby'declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use thesame, reference'bein g had to the accompanying drawings, and to lettersof reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to take ups for looms, especially for narrow-warelooms; and its object is to provide a take-up of simple, strong, an ddurable construction, reliable and eficient in operation and readilyattachable to looms of various makes and construction.

The invention consists in the improved take-up and in the combinationand arrange corresponding parts in each of the several views, Figure 1is a view in side elevation of a loom provided with our improved takeup,only those portions of the loom being shown which are necessary to fullyillustrate the nature of our invention. Fig. 2 is arear elevation of aportion of Fig. 1, with certain parts broken away and others removed;and- Fig. 3 isan enlarged detail view of the receiving-bobbins and theiroperating mechanism. i

In said drawings, a represents the loomframe; I), the batten, supportedby lay-swords c in the usual mannelgand e'the'm'ain driving-shaft, whichby suitable gear mechanism (not shown in the drawings) transmits motionto the take-up roller J".

On the rear portion ofthe frame a are arranged the delivery-bobbins d,from which the warp-threads g pass over suitable pulleys or sheaves h hunder a rod 11, preferably of glass, which latter is supportedinbrackets preferably in rear of the bracket j.

j, mounted on the loom-frame in the usual manner.

On the front beam m of the loom is secured a glass rod 41, parallel withthe rod 2', while another glass rod 0 is arranged below and On the rearof the loom and below the delivery-bobbins d are secured two parallelbars p and p, in which are mounted a series of spindles q and (1,adapted to receive the receiving-bobbins and r.' Between the cross-barsp and p and above the same is revolubly' mounted a shaft 8 in frictionalcontact with the lower heads or flanges of the receiving-bobbins r andr. The shaft 8 is adapted to rotate the series of bobbins, and thereforein order that the shaft may properly transmit its motion. to saidbobbins the spindles q and q are inclined more or less out of theperpendicular relatively to said shaft.

On the shaft sis mounted a sprocket-wheel s,.receiving its motionthrough a sprocketchains from a smaller sprocket wheel 8 which latter ismounted on the main drivingshaft e.

On the shaft of the takeaip roller f is secured a wheel or pulley f,transmitting its motion through an endless belt f to a wheel or pulley fwhich latter is securely mounted on ashaft f suitably supported in theloomframe a. On the last-mentioned shaft f is also arranged a smallergrooved pulley f connected by an endless belt f to a larger groovedpulley f which latter is mounted on theshaft it, parallel with the shaftf and also arranged in the loom-frame a.

Secured on the shaft uis a cam o in aline ment with and adapted tooperate a shoe 4),-

carried by the rear portion of a treadle-lever r the front portion ofwhich is suitably fulcrumed, as at 12 to a bracket o arranged on thefloor, or, if preferred, said bracket could be secured 'to and dependfrom the loomframe, as will be manifest. The rear portion of thetreadle-lever o is connected by a rod to to a link or lever to, oneendof which is revolubly mounted on a shaft 10 while its free end isconnected to the lower end of a rod or wire 10 To the upper end of saidrod or wire 10 is secured a rope 00, passing over one of the sheaves orpulleys h and having its other end secured to a depending rod the lowerhooked portion 00 of which forms a hearing for the traverse-rod 00 whichlatter is parallel to the shaft 3 and is in close proximity to thereceiving-bobbins r. Said traverserod 00 is guided in itsup'and-downward movement by means of bars or rods an, adapted toreciprocate in brackets 17*, as clearly shown in Fig. 3.

It may be stated that a weight :0 may be arranged on the lower end ofthe reciprocating bars or rods ac, if found necessary.

In the foregoing wehave described the traverse-rod and its operatingmechanism, and it must be remarked that a similar mechanism is arrangedon the opposite side of the loom and, if desired, can also be arrangedat certain intermediate portions thereof.

On a cross-beam y in the front portion of the loom are secured a seriesof brackets y,

forming the bearings for a series of guide pulleys or wheels 11 whichlatter are in close proximity to and preferably in frictional contactwith the take-up roller f for a purpose hereinafter described.

The finished fabric passes over the rod 01,

under and over the take-up roller f, over its respective guidewheel gunder the rod 0, and over the traverse-rod onto thc receiving-bobbin ror r.

In operation the shafts being rotated in turn rotates thereceiving-bobbins r and r, i on which latter the finished fabric isbeing be manifest that the length of travel of the 3 tra verse-rod m caneasily be adjusted or regulated by secu ring the link to in one or theother of the openings in the arm or lever w.

IIeretofore the finished fabric after passing under and over (or viceversa) the regular take-up roller f was allowed to drop into a box orreceptable placed underneath said take-up roller. The material wasafterward removed from said box and wound on the receiving-bobbins. Withour improved device the last-mentioned operations are automaticallyeffected, and it undoubtedly simplifies the operation and lessens thesteps necessary for the same.

We do not intend to limit ourselves to the precise construction shownand described, as various alterations can be made without changing thescope of our invention; but

hat we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
